(💸25/40) The One Financial Metric You're Not Tracking That's More Important Than Your Bank Balance

Picture this: You're at the end of your life, reflecting on your financial journey. What's the metric that truly matters? Is it the size of your bank account—or the lives you've touched through your generosity?

In today's episode, we're tackling a question that could reframe your entire perspective on money: What is your Net Given, and why is it the most important number you're probably not tracking?

We explore the transformative power of tracking your Net Given—every act of generosity, big or small. It's not just about tithes or charitable donations; it's about every coffee you buy for a friend, every birthday gift, every meal you share. By shifting our focus from accumulating wealth to amplifying generosity, we discovered a path to a richer life and a lasting legacy.

🔎 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

1. How redefining financial success can transform your life.

2. The story behind our ambitious goal to give away a million dollars.

3. Practical steps to start tracking your Net Given today.

4. Why small acts of generosity add up to make a big impact.

5. How focusing on giving can lead to true financial freedom.

If you've ever felt that accumulating more isn't fulfilling, this episode is your invitation to flip the script.
